Come celebrate Puccini's breathtaking opera Tosca with us! It is a work of love. Huge thanks to OperArt Jyrki Anttila, for organizing this! We, Jyrki Anttila, Sam Ilmi McNairy-Taskinen, Johannes Pessi and I, have the pleasure of telling this story. The setting could hardly be more perfect. The first act of Tosca takes place in a beautiful church in Rome. We have the privilege to present in the magnificent medieval Church of St. Lawrence in Lohja. The orchestra under Kantor Harri Kerko will accompany us on this journey.
is organizing Tosca, and it is my very first Scarpia! I am so honored to be a part of this cast, both Cynthia and Jyrki have sung these roles countless times, and it is such a special place to make a debut. I have been so very inspired to soak in all the knowledge. Here are the details of where and how to buy tickets, it takes place in the beautiful medieval church in Lohja. (And while it is highlights, I get to sing the entire role as written)

I am so grateful for this season that really changed the course of my career, after it being very tough for years after coming out as trans to get people to actually see and hear what I am capable of as a professional. Now a month or so of memorizing and some vacationing before the next season starts!

I had a lovely time rehearsing two new operas for Sokeritehdas at Finnish National Opera and Tosca with some industry legends, but also had time to visit some gorgeous places in Helsinki and Lappeenranta (my hometown). Here are some highlights of the past month or so!

A few more brilliant shots of ALL RISE by the inimitable

ALL RISE cross-examines the dramaturgical genealogies between the legal system and the theatre, both technologies whose insistence on affective legibility and narrative coherence renders violence visible, narratable, and ultimately containable without imparting ethical or political responsibility upon its spectators.
